That was a great documentary! There should be more like that on TPR, a lot of good information, a few pics and videos of the ride in operation, and pretty good narration! Nice job. :b

Other than the possible mispronunciation of Huss, which my German friend tells me is supposed to rhyme with puss (as in Puss-In-Boots), this thread rules.

Thanks for everyone for the positive reviews! I am thinking about releasing a 'making of' feature about the work I put into the project and how I was able to bring back the popular flat to the amusement industry simply through filming a documentary.

Also, a sequel is in the works. I'm aiming for it's release in May 2010.

Yes, it's going to Cannes and SXSW and possibly Sundance. I have a great time to work with that is getting it approved for all future film festivals as I speak/type!

From what I know, is that Schwarzkopf came up with the Enterprise as well as several other designs that used the same base as the Enterprise (Gigant, Katapult, etc..). Huss apparently found out about the Schwarzkopf design and came up with their own and got the patent for it.
